I have finally obtained the blood of the storm

How's samurooo, is it fun to play?

 

[the_sun_king]

The quest line to get a fucking wine is the longest I have ever seen.

They keep sending me from one side of the map to the other.

That's officially the worst quest chain in base 2.0. Once you get past it, things pick up a lot imo.

 

[IrrelevantAlex]

I just hit 70 on my first class with Dark Knight. Thing is I just got past the first stormblood dungeon. Though I do have a level 61 PLD to do the MSQs I want verity so it's like do I use my DR bonus to get verity or for the exp to level PLD so I can do more MSQs haha. I should go the MSQs route as I've only had time to run roulette's and then log off lately.

I did all the 60+ DRK job quests in a row. Pretty cool I liked how I actually had to

souleater everything.

Holy shit at this cutscene turning

from one of my fav characters to my most hated.

RAUBAHN IS THE BIGGEST BRO

 

[Danj]

holy crap #2,

Spoiler

Raubahn

just snapped and killed

Spoiler

Teledji Adeledji

. I mean I expected

Spoiler

him to be pissed off

but I figured

Spoiler

Teledji

was just trying to

Spoiler

provoke him so he could be arrested

.

EDIT: Orb are we watching the same cutscenes?

EDIT 2: omg now

Spoiler

Lolorito

got the wrong end of the stick and

Spoiler

Raubahn

Spoiler

kill him too?

WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT OMG

 

[Luigi87]

Ahh, end of 2.X is so damn good, lol

 

[dramatis]

Hey

Remember T2 Enrage method? That was a thing - people going out of their way to make the fight 'roll your face on the keyboard' easy. And we never saw the Rot mechanic ever again.

yeah

Edit: Nevermind, I also remember people looking down on others who did do enrage method (admittedly rightfully so, rot wasn't hard)

Edit 2: Why haven't we seen Rot make a return anywhere? :thonkang: was it really that bad?

It was easy for you because you just sat there like a fat chocobo black mage while the healers and melee passed rot around

[MogCakes]

I get killed in Halicarnassus for trying to stack with the stack person as they run through the aoe markers like a headless chicken. I just want my crank already, I have lost 5 rolls and two high 90 rolls today and it has put me in a bad mood.

Shit like this scene and the lead up to it are why i just shrug at people that say they skip all the cutscenes

You legit just came back, why is a bunch of my ninja moves slashed out?

 

[Alex]

You legit just came back, why is a bunch of my ninja moves slashed out?

Pruned from the game.

Cross role was redone and every class had a few things condensed or removed to combat bloat in conjunction with the new stuff that was added

 

[iammeiam]

You legit just came back, why is a bunch of my ninja moves slashed out?

They changed a bunch of crap for everyone.

 

[Original Man]

I'm a 70 drg and find it hilarious that SE thought it was a good idea to have our 70 skill as a 320 AoE potency move >.>. What were they thinking lol

 

[kaze343]

everyone's mostly in the main hub area and city now in stormblood
also doing fates isn't an efficient way to level up anymore, unless you were together with the leveling up train when the game/expansion is still new

fates are best according to the guy who got everything leveled to 70. fates that are scalled are super fast, and even a failed fate is worth the exp.

I'm a 70 drg and find it hilarious that SE thought it was a good idea to have our 70 skill as a 320 AoE potency move >.>. What were they thinking lol

if you get the full 30 seconds, its a 960 pot move for all three hits is most likely the thinking they have.

 

[Village]

DRK seems to be the same, just some shit missing

Edit: fucking shadow skin's gone?

 

[Orb]

Does anything happen in these credits or is it just pictures?

 

[Ragingnight]

I want to say after it, yes

 

[dramatis]

You can probably skip the credits, they won't skip cutscenes that come after I think.

 

[Orb]

Thank god

Edit: did alphinauds VA change? It sounds more like Aymeric than it does alphinaud lol

 

[jwhit28]

If I wanted to split play time between PC and PS4 do I have to buy the expansions twice or just the base game twice?

 

[ebil]

Yes, Rampart went into the role skill pool, that's your new Shadow Skin.

Everything twice

 

[Luigi87]

Welcome to Heavensward, nearly everyone got a new VA, lol

It's all around underwhelming. At least it looks pretty

 

[Danj]

And now

Alphinaud

is all whiny and dramatic about how it's

In HW, Alphinaud goes from being a whiny know-it-all Mary Sue to having some semblance of actual character.

He'll get better.

 

[Vic_Viper]

At ilvl 308 and think I'm ready to take on Susano EX if I can ever find a full group that's also ready lol. I know almost the entire fight, still haven't gotten him down past 25% health left. But I know all the mechanics up to the point. If anyone wants to try and get a group together lemme know!

Also finally figured out how to use NIN's tenchijin! Man the text description for it is almost worthless. It remembers the last Justu you used and lets you do a combo of 3 jutsus in a row. Pretty cool ability that I've just neglected until doing a Dungeon with a fellow NIN that taught me how lol.


When does the currency reset on Tuesday? Is it in the morning at like 12am or is it Tuesday night? It's going to take atleast 2 more weeks to get the gear I want after getting the weapon first lol. Think they should let you get more of the creation marks or deltascape parts per week.

Also where do the items drop needed to buy Materia from the vendor in Rhagar's Reach?

I would be down to try it soon. I'm around ilvl 304 (WAR)

Nisi from A4S is a similar mechanic in that you must pass it between party members before the timer expires or you wipe. But people cheesed that too lol

 

[Danj]

OK so I finally finished all the ARR post-game quests, the next quest is the first HW quest, yay! Going to leave it there for tonight, seems like a good place to stop.

 

[Vic_Viper]

I would be down to try it soon. I'm around ilvl 304 (WAR)

I have to work tonight but I'll be on tomorrow from like 12-3pm, then I'm off work all day Monday and Tuesday.

We should try and assemble a Susano Ex party. I really want that Fox Mount! How many times do you need to do the trial? Or is the mount a random drop like the Magitech Mount?

 

[NewVegasDog]

It's random for the most part. I've ran it like 15-20 times and hasn't been dropped in loot chests. Best case for getting the mount is to collect and save 99 totems.

 

[Jisgsaw]

Speaking of which: does anyone know when the Road to 60 bonus will end?

Where do the totems drop? And who is the vendor you use them at?

 

[devious.one]

It's nice to see your contribution to this thread is worth about as much as your contribution to your raid group

Must be a pretty huge contribution then, considering what she used to bring to the table during ARR raiding.

 

[Vic_Viper]

Which of the 2 EX Trials is the "easiest"? Which one should I focus on trying to finish first?

 

[Stone Ocean]

You get a token every time you clear directlt to your inventory. You can use them at Rhalgrs Reach but you wont be able to buy the mount till next patch at the earliest

Lakshmi is the easier one

 

[Edzi]

Wait, so it's possible to complete a tier of Omega and get no loot? You have to roll for everything, even though you're expected to grind it like currency? That's bullshit.

 

[Kenai]

Wait, so it's possible to complete a tier of Omega and get no loot? You have to roll for everything, even though you're expected to grind it like currency? That's bullshit.

They are trade in drops. Some pieces need one or two and some need 4. You can usually get them all in a few runs for the week if you do with other ppl, don't really need to grind unless you are planning on gearing up multiple roles

 

[Astral]

So with attribution points gone, does the game just automatically allocate them to whatever is appropriate?

Finished up the

quest at the Steppes. That was some hype shit. I'd definitely want to play as an Au Ra if I wasn't already a beautiful Elezen.

Jesus christ uh is there a good PvP guide? I just did the very first training round and I have no idea wtf just happened. My abilities all changed into some shit I've never seen before and there were explosions everywhere.

edit - and I kept being pulled around everywhere and I didn't know how to kill anybody and and and x-x

That's probably my favourite section of Stormblood's MSQ. The whole Steppe in general, but that specific event was great.

I felt that way at first too, but then I tried it a few more times and it became pretty fun. Take a few looks at the actions on your PvP menu - it's actually more simplified than normal combat. You'll get used to it in time.

Sorta. See those Main stat + traits? Those are essentially the replacement for the points.

I've got this game in January.
Just now I finished Heavensward + extra stuff and entered Stormblood. Over 400 story quests have been done.
It took me 9 days playtime,distributed over the last months.

I'm going for a nap now.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

I have a question about Chocobo coloring.

I want to have a red chocobo and I know what fruits to give it, but I don't know where to plant the seeds. The FC's farm plot says I'm not authorized to use it.

Is the dream over?
